Week 12 AFC Recap
By Gary Ashley
AFC Coorespondent/Angry Shopper Bowler Over
Pittsburgh at Baltimore - It can be officially said that the Steelers season has gone the way of the toilet and are now fighting for draft picks and to avoid placing worse than the Browns. With all the preseason "the games don't count", the wacky scheduling, the injuries, and all the other problems with the Steelers have sports writers going nuts in the 'Burgh. I told ya so. The Steelers' problems were shown in full force as QB Ben Rothlisberger went 21/41 for 214 yds and 2 INTs, and sacked more times (nine to be exact) than a fratboy teabag prank. The Ravens blank the Steelers and keep the steak against them alive. Quote Me 27, Put St. Pierre In 0
Cincinnati at Cleveland - The Christmas family reunion was back in full swing and this time Cleveland found a way to play worse than the Steelers. Cleveland QB Charlie Frye went 18/29 for 186 yds and 4 INTs, no doubt going to be a backup for another team next season and put an end to all this foam-rubber Frye man stupidity in the stands. Cincy QB Carson *SNL Theme Song* Palmer is probably going to buy all of his receivers Rolex watches as WR Chris Henry was the winner this week with 2 TD catches. The AFC North has a mass bi-polar disorder this week with half the division getting blanked. Cleveland Browns, the rebuilding is over. 2nd place in the AFC North 30, Losers of the AFC North 0
Chicago at New England - Almost a perfect 3 for 3 on picks this week until that damn Tom Brady decided to not have a sick day. Well, more like half a sick day as he went 22/33 for 269 yds, 1 TD and 2 INTs. Rex Grossman is still flashing back to that game with the Cardinals in an effort to recreate the ugly win and the hilarity that ensued afterwards. But sadly, the Patriots are not the Cardinals or coached by Dennis Green; and if they were, they'd be using the old minuteman uniforms. Grossman threw 15/34 for 176 yds and 3 INTs. Makes you wonder if they can win the big one. New higher ranking in the SI Power Poll 17, -#24 on the SI Power Poll 13
THE LIST
(of QBs that got trampled while Christmas shopping)
1) The entire Steelers offensive line - allowed 9 sacks - This is the last Steelers game I cover. I'm switching to the Penguins.
2) Charlie Frye - 18/29 for 186 yds, 4 INTs - I bet he ends up as a third stringer on another team next year.
3) Rex Grossman - 15/34 for 176 yds, 3 INTs - Anyone that bet on Chicago being undefeated or dominating should be kicked right now for this week.
4) Bruce Gradkowski - 10/20 for 120 yds, 2 INTs - Thanks for making me fall asleep on Thanksgiving.
THE RACE FOR THE HEISMAN (or #1 Draft Pick)
Detroit Lions, Arizona Cardinals, and Oakland Raiders all at 2-9
